SWMRS start to sink after releasing ‘Berkley’s on Fire’

(03/02/19 5:13am)

SWMRS, after a 3-year hiatus, made a reappearance into the music scene with their fourth album, Berkley’s on Fire.  Their punk style was on its way to dominating the alt-rock scene, since  not many contemporary bands can put off that kind of boldness. Berkley’s on Fire  is similar to their other releases, but this time around they added a  mainstream pop twist. They did this in a very haphazard way; punk rock  is supposed to be riotous, but SWMRS’s use of disorganized fun in this  album isn’t what it used to be.

REVIEW: ‘Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo’ Episode 19: “White Album”

(02/22/19 9:59pm)

As anyone keeping up with these reviews would know, the pacing of Vento Aureo’s  fights has recently become somewhat problematic. It felt like the team  behind the anime couldn’t quite figure out how much time they should  spend on the past two fights, which lead to Grateful Dead being way too  bloated and Babyface feeling incredibly rushed and insignificant in the  grand scheme. Fortunately, the team managed to rebound from their recent  missteps and delivered one of the anime’s most enjoyable fights in a  while.

‘Tetris 99’ is an addictive but barebones battle royale

(02/22/19 7:24pm)

Even a person who has never played a video game before has heard of Tetris. The player is tasked to line up falling blocks in a horizontal row, and once a row is cleared, they get points. The goal of older Tetris games is simply to survive while getting as many points as possible, but newer entries all try to put their own spin on Tetris. At the end of the day though, Tetris is Tetris, and can’t help feeling a little stale even with new mechanics. The game has literally been released on every single game console, even the freaking Philips CD-i had Tetris (complete with an unironically good soundtrack). Games like Puyo Puyo Tetris or Tetris Effect add enough bells and whistles to overpower the Tetris-ness of the experience and end up being pretty amazing games as a result. It’s clear that there’s still potential for Tetris to be more than just another puzzle game with falling blocks.

Panda Bear’s attempt at a stripped-back album goes belly-up on ‘Buoys’

(02/15/19 5:00am)

In retrospect, Animal Collective’s 2016 record Painting With  sparked quite a change in the group’s output. For a band that is known  for their sonic experimentation and left-field approach to psychedelic  pop and rock, Painting With was a shockingly one-dimensional  effort that garnered lukewarm reception from critics and fans. It was  the last thing that an Animal Collective record should be: safe.
